Diotto Boots

Diotto Auchleeks Boots are imported from Italy and feature some of the finest handmade construction, materials and designs I have experienced. The Auchleek is a very stiff, 11” high leg boot intended for wet soils and forestry. Featuring a patented closure that instead of a tongue, features the boot folding in upon itself, trips out in our current wet climate in all sorts of vegetation have failed to provoke any kind of leak.

The Vibram sole is of a more open design to shed mud build up but is very stiff and protects the foot on hard terrain. Stiff construction provides masses of ankle support. Scratch proof leather surrounds the boot with an unusual stippled appearance almost like a synthetic material but thankfully allowing the breathability of the natural material we know. Internally, a brushed fabric provides excellent thermal insulation and the WIND-TEX lining is waterproof and breathable. The metal eyelets are applied with an anti-rust treatment to give a longer life and speed lacing makes putting them on a little easier. I have found the ultra-stiff build needs to be very well worn in for best comfort. Boot fit is very personal and I have found these to get better every trip out and on soaked fields after the harvest, no aggressive stubbles have damaged the upper. The tall rubber rand covering the vulnerable joint from sole to upper is also untouched.

Price of the Diotto Auchleeks Boots is £210 from Swillington Shooting Supplies; for further details visit their website at www.swillingtonshootingsupplies.co.uk
